CABS team thrashed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today saw some class cricket from the supporters of CABS cricket..Though there was a delay in the start because of our seniors, we overcame the hurdles to begin play..Only one game was played today..but it lacked nothing..The players were equally distributed..No important players except LEE,RICHARDS and VARUN SINGH missed the game..Today's new face was VISU HAYDEN,so gigantic and intimidating to the bowler, though he was not up to the mark with the bat today...
The CABS team won the toss and decided to bat first in the 8 over encounter...The batting was great as usual with ADMIN and SLOPPER opening the innings...both were great and steady and just when CABS team seemed to be in complete control of the match they(admin and slopper) lost track of the match and got out...Then came today's most stylish batting...SRI WATSON seemed to be in complete control of the bat and played some gloriours strokes square of the wicket..his attempt to reverse sweep the ball needs special mention, though it went straight to the fielder MS PATTU who dropped the catch offered..With some useful contributions from the other players like VIRU, CABS team raised up to 34 at the end of 8 overs...
Then the came the WTF reply...NATTU DRAVID was so clean in his hitting and was just as dangerous as usual...when he was out MS PATTU came in and slammed the ball for a boundary..but he too went back soon...REP who played a responsible innings took their team to a comfortable position. Though the CABS team tried to restrict the run flow, the WTF had the match under their control throughout....McOFFICER failed with the bat though was good in the field...
The highlight of the match was the last over..The previous over went for 4 runs and was bowled by VIRU...Admin was irritated that 4 runs were given in the penultimate over..Then Admin decided to bowl the last over with the WTF team needing 10 runs...It seemed to be an easy victory for the CABS team..But it wasn't so..The WTF team found their hero in PRAVEEN-il-haq...who hit the first ball to the fence...and Admin trying to intimidate the batsman deserved some more..PRAVEEN hit the next ball too for a boundary...The chances of a CABS team victory seemed to have vanished into thin air...HARI WARNE was on strike and the WTF team needed 1 from 2 balls...WARNE finished off the match in style with a straight drive despatching the ball to the boundary,the last over alone giving away 12 runs...Admin who knew to preach didn't know to practise...what a pity..!!!!!!!!!!
Now coming to the individual performances today...As far as the batting is considered DRAVID,SLOPPER ,REP and ADMIN blazed away some strokes as usual...But the real batting heroes of the day are Ul-haq and WATSON...Both were superb to watch...Though JONTY didn't get a bat, he was great with the ball...RV PONTING was good in the fielding though he did not get a bat...WARNE tried out some pace bowling and he was very economical...he seems to be getting better by the day...VIRU and IRFAN RAJ bowled real good spells..and IRFAN took two wickets in consectutive deliveries...
Fielding was great..JONTY is still throwing onto the stumps..and VIRU and IRFAN are fighting for the second place...I find a 'SPECTAC'ular change in SLOPPER(he has got a new pair of spectacles...lollz)..in his fielding ..he seems to be in control of the ball..though i have to consider other's opinions in order to re-christen him...
"Aren't the balls in which the batsman gets stumped,correct balls??"Ul-haq asked this question when i was stumped off a wide delivery from WARNE..Hats off Ul-haq...we expect many more such intelligent thinking from u....lollz....
From today I have decided to name one of us a the player of the day and it is purely my own opinion...i regret if any of you are not with me..As far as today's game goes my PLAYER OF THE DAY is PRAVEEN-ul-haq....for winning a match that was virtually lost...
Hope CABS team comes back strong in the next edition..........see you all.........ur feedbacks are welcomed.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
